REMOVING EXCESS COOKING OIL FROM CROUTONS USING AIR KNIFE

In the final stages of manufacture, croutons are removed from the fryer and passed along a vibrating conveyor to remove as much oil as possible. This was only partially successful and led to customer complaints because: Croutons are sold by weight and excess oil increases the weight Excess oil solidifies and spoils the crispness of the crouton
Shelf life is decreased. Customer rejects product

By enclosing the vibrating conveyor and fitting a stainless steel air knife across the conveyor, twice the amount of oil was removed.
